Description

For a couple of weeks every February (weather conditions permitting) Horsetail Fall puts on a show in Yosemite National Park, lighting up like a firefall as it cascades over the edge of El Capitan. While dozens of photographers line up each night in the hopes of catching the magic, there is another aspect to Horsetail Fall overlooked by many. In this image the rising sun creates a rainbow in the mist forming at the base of Horsetail Fall as it empties into the Merced River.
